Of the schools mentioned here, all but Clarkson, Rensselaer, Saint Lawrence
and Unkon are DI; these four are DIII schools with DI Men's Hockey. Saint
Lawrence fields a women's DI team in addition to their DI Men's team. Does
the NCAA's one-sport exemption (the one where a DIII school can carry one
DI sport) apply to both sides of a single sport?

SH and HC are DI schools, no? How can they have a DIII team? The MAAC had
to go DIAA in football in order to keep their football programs.
